Skinny Jeans, Fat Knees: A Study in Self Loathing Who here is ready for the skinny jean fad to go ahead and get on its way?

Girls in SUVs Talking Out Loud to Jesus: How to Perfect Your Prayer Life I know. It has been a while. I opened my laptop and stared at the blank screen for what seemed an eternity.
